On this day, one of the most historically important tracks in the ninja scene was released : Beast Moves, created by oSKUMBAGo.
Considered the first ninja track ever publicly documented on the official Trials forums, Beast Moves holds a foundational place in the emergence of ninja mapping as a recognized and distinct subgenre within the Trials community. It was also the very first ninja track built by oSKUMBAGo himself — a figure who would later become one of the most influential creators in the early ninja era.
While many veteran players recall Citadel as potentially the earliest ninja map ever created — also by oSKUMBAGo — it was Beast Moves that formally introduced the concept to the community, with its forum debut marking the birth of a new culture: one defined by high difficulty, technical precision, and a creative spirit that went beyond the « Extreme » category.
The track was first completed by its own creator, showcasing not only the difficulty of the map but also the intentional design that made it passable — a key aspect of what would later define credible ninja maps.
